Renal Failure
Alternate Names : Acute Renal Insufficiency
What are the signs and symptoms of the disease?
At first, there are no specific signs or symptoms of acute
renal failure. But as the disease gets worse, many people have
decreased urine output. As a result, fluid builds up in the body tissues
and organs. Here are some common symptoms of acute renal failure:
irregular heartbeats, called arrhythmias
excess fluid in the abdomen, called ascites
cognitive impairments,
which include an altered mental status
coma
palpitations,
which are unusual sensations of the heart beating rapidly in the chest
shortness of breath
edema, which means swelling of the extremities
